"The head of Egypt's Supreme Council for Antiquities says Egyptian archaeologists have found two ancient sarcophagi close to the pyramids. Council chief Zahi Hawass says the sarcophagi are about 2,500-years-old - dating back to the late 26th dynasty. He says they have been found about one kilometre south of the Giza pyramids. . . . The sarcophagus is painted red, blue and green and bears the name of its owner, Neb Ra Khatow, and ritual incantations to the gods.
The second sarcophagus has a more human form and was found inside the first."
